It was the fall of 1994 when we saw our first alpacas almost by happenstance at a local wool festival. What started out that October day almost as a joke though ("we'll get two for the back yard!") quickly took on a life of its own. Alpacas consumed and entranced us as they do so many people when they first come across these amazing creatures. Of course that was then and this is now. In 2007 Cas-Cad-Nac Farm is celebrating it's 10th year of operation and is a full time family enterprise comprising 3 barns, some 45 acres of pasture, and 5 employees (that's not including ourselves). Our herd numbers 250+ with award winning lineages represented from across the globe. When people ask us what CCNF is all about the answer is really quite easy: it's the fiber, plain and simple. We feel that the future of our industry's success here in the USA and throughout the world will be driven by our ability to continually advance the production of true textile grade alpaca fiber. Our show record over the past several years makes it clear that this strategy is bearing fruit. While anyone can get lucky once in a while tossing the genetic dice, consistent success on the show circuit and quality production over time is no fluke. Combine the depth of our breeding program with an almost crazed commitment to customer service and you start to get a feel for what Cas-Cad-Nac Farm is all about. We take great pride in co-hosting the inaugural National Elite Alpaca Auction in beautiful Leesburg, Virginia and look forward to seeing you there! |
